Commuting to the sun


Early-morning commuters waiting for a train at the Oak Park station can look eastward down the tracks to see the sun rise just behind the skyscrapers in the Chicago loop. Photo by Katrin Maldre.

If Barack Obama wakes up this morning in his own bed in his own house, he won't be able to look out his window and see Russia, but he might be able to see these same skyscrapers. By the time he goes to bed tonight--God willing and the creek don't rise--he may have signed a lease on another house. He'll be your tenant and mine, and in lieu of rent, he's promised to fix the place up a bit.
